About This Quote
Did I see them waving?' said Mrs Liberty'And particling, I shouldn't wonder' said the Alderman This quote comes from the play The Merchant of Venice. It has to do with the way that Falstaff is speaking to his wife. He sees her waving her handkerchief in the air to try to get his attention. He says, "And particling, I shouldn't wonder." Particular means particular, but it also means how much he should not have to pay for an item.
It is important to note that there are different interpretations of this line within Shakespeare's plays. Some say it means he should not have to pay for an item because he will see it later and can easily take it for free. Others say it means he should not have to pay for an item because he won't see it again or needs it bad enough that he wouldn't care if he got owned on the price tag.
